I need the same for Droid 3 running cm9 nightly.. can't install metroff cause its not signed.. metroff 1.3 works on gingerbread
Edited.
Disregard..... for some reason theres a metroff 1.3 thats is buggy. i found another metroff 1.3 online that installs fine on gingerbread and ics.. but your ics will still not work but please follow my guide... keep reading this posts and you will find a full working guide. the metroff file that you download should include a mms.apk of 713,586 bytes or 696.86K.

MetroPCS MMS Guide On Ice Cream Sandwich
Guide for MetroPCS MMS on IceCreamSandwich written 4/4/2012 blazinbear82 last updated 4/29/2012
There are similar guides to this but nothing written for the ICS and no developers making a Metroff ICS so here is the first ICS guide.
Credit to the Metroff Team. I Just took their files and inserted them directly into the rom.
Confirmed Working Phones and Roms
Droid 3
...Hashcodes Cyanogenmod 9
...Hashcodes [SELFKANG ICS AOSP ROM] "AOKP" (Android Open KANG Project)
Maverick 4.0 (Gingerbread) only sends mms on mms.apk receives on any
HTC Evo 4G
...Decks ICS PB14 Rom
Preface
Have phone flashed to Metropcs with internet and have it rooted.
Needed
1.) Metroff 1.3.zip Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?q83m25ls8p5vnvi.
2.) Rootexplorer.apk I will not post a link for it because its a paid app but i will suggest you go search 4shared
3.) Systemappremover.apk look in 4shared again
4.) Go to the Market and download GoSMS on your phone.
5.) A Good Working Brain
6.) And Some time
Instructions:
Step 1.) Install systemappremover... open... choose system apps... find the stock mms app and remove. This is necessary.
Step 2.) Download Metroff.zip (look at the link above.)
Step 3.) Boot using safestrap... should also work with other recoveries like clockwork
Step 4.) Install zip from sdcard..(choose metroff 1.3 zip file)
At this point if you reboot and your mms is working than you are golden. The Metroff.zip file works as it should for your rom. You may stop reading and enjoy your mms. Thanks Metroff team. If not continue with the guide.
If it did not work for you than at this point you will probably only get a starting run on build.prop (one of the files that needs to get modified).
Step 5.) Boot your phone up and download rootexplorer.apk and install and open i think (u might find it using 4shared perhaps).
Step 6.) Extract the Metroff 1.3 zip file (the one you downloaded earlier and ran in safestrap/clockwork. It will probably be under your download directory in your internal sdcard i would look under /sdcard/downloads.) Extract by holding the file for a couple seconds to bring up options. Choose extract it will then download to your internal sdcard under /sdcard/extracted.
Step 7.) You will be moving the files from Metroff.zip into the root of your system file. click the mount r/w if you need to write to your root. its the button that sits on top of the root explorer at all times.
Step 8.)Once you have found the extracted files start by going to the data folder find eri.xml and and mpcs.sql
move those to the /data folder of your root. do not go back yet to get the other files stop here. hold a file for couple sec to bring up options and choose permissions check off all the checks. (to be honest i am not sure which files need what permissions so i just gave permissions to all the files included in the metroff zip file)
You may skip the folder called META-INF and the file mpcs.sh (for now) these seem to be files created to make the zip install under recovery. so ignore those. Do install the the mms.apk it is needed, although you will be using gosms which works a whole lot better.
Step 9.) Go to the xbin and pull sqlite3 and replace the sqlite3 that is on the root of your device under system xbin and give full permissions as well.
Step 10.) Go to /system and find build.prop.. hold the file and click open in text editor.
You must edit the following... if its not already named than match it..
ro.product.brand = metropcs
ro.telephony.default network=4
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310027
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = MetroPCS
before exiting hit the menu and save
Step 11.) Notice this wasnt here its a big edit.. go back to the extracted folder find mpcs.sh click it and hit execute..
Step 12.) Go to root/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony find databases folder find telephony.db
this is crucial.. hit view. hit the carriers. you should see a table with different carriers.. somewhere on this list you shoud find numeric 310027
with metropcs information in case for some reason metropcs informaion. if you already have the metropcs information leave it as is. if not you will have to download sqlite editor not free in the market (try 4shared).. and create new record with the following
id.. last in your list or whatever number you wish to give it
name .. MetroPCS
numeric 310027
mcc 310
mnc 027
apn internet
user *
server *
password *
proxy blank
port blank
mmsproxy blank
mmsport blank
mmsc http://mms.metropcs.net/mmsc
mmsc2 blank
authtype -1
type blank
inactivetimer blank
enabled.. 1
iptype blank
class blank
current 1 should change when build prop matches this
spn blank
protocol ip
roaming protocol ip
preloaded true
you should come back to this file after reboot and verify that this is active you will have a 1 in front of current and you should not have a 1 on any other carriers for example verizon in current because your prop.build is saying to use numeric 310027
Step 13.) Download GoSMS from the Playstore (Market).
Open the advance settings tab of GoSMS and choose maximum mms size and choose 500k. (needed)
Again Under GoSMS advanced settings find send settings and check split large messages. (needed)
Step 14.) reboot now.
Test/Troubleshoot
Recheck all the files make sure everyone of those files has permissions at full including the build.prop and make sure the files are where they should be.
I also gave a couple of folders full permissions which were /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and everything inside of that full permissions.
also data/data/com.android.mms and everything under that full permissions.
Notes
1.) You may edit the /data/eri.xml file after EriText="MetroPCS" or whatever you like this is the text you will see when you do the pull down the window.
2.) I recommend u get the ics theme for gosms to fulfill the ics experience.
3.) The stock mms.apk that you install doesnt seem to work but the gosms does. Stick to that although some mms sometimes go through mms.apk from the metroff file.
3.) Remember to give thanks.
4.) Follow up with me... Tell me what worked for u what didnt work for you so that i can get all the right settings included... I might of missed something. I will comeback and edit. Remember i just played around with the metroff.zip files
5.) If This Worked for you ask for this to be sticky.

i guess u will be the first to try it out. let us know. can i ask who flashed it to metro. u or someone else.. if u didnt do it i ask why not... if u wanna learn u got to do stuff urself u only learn by trial and error.
3g is not real in metropcs most places. ur stock rom prolly dosent include a 1x icon so it reverts to the 3g one. the ics rom has a 1x so u will get that instead. i might be wrong but this is very real i know in cali i have no 3g from metro but know that florida texas and new york metro supports 3g so if u were in a real 3g supported area ur icon would go from one 1x to 3g.

Evrything is going except for MMS. any suggestions. if any1 needs help getting any Samsung droid to this point I can help. But I need help with MMS. plz any1.

blazinbear82 - i did try to use the metroff.zip. at first it would not flash, after some tweaks i got it to flash but still no mms.
To gemgoon http://metropcsflash.blogspot.com/p/samsun-galaxy-s2-metropcs-full-flash.html thats the samsung 4g full flash to metro... i dont want to get to off topic.

Did u try my metroff manual method not just the flash.. my droid 3 maverick(gingerbread)only sends mms with the mms.apk in the metroff file if i use gosms to send a pic i break the mms and have to reinstall the included mms.apk.. is it possible u are inder froyo still.. in wich case u would of had to use metroff 1.2..

well after talkin to htc and verizon for a few hours , i found out y the mms messeges werent being sent,, its cuz when we ported the sprint roms it changed the MMSC URL
to sprintpcsmms it should be http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms"
so its tryin to send them through sprint
the problem is tryin to edit it , but im sure there are people here who can figure it out
we need the url for verizon http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
if u have stock mms apk u can see this in settings /connections
im wondering if we take out the apn from the rom we are porting put ours in its place ,resign the rom , then port if it will work, has anyone tried this ?
sorry just my two cent on this
already tried it, but heres the info on how to change it. i couldnt tell if it actually worked, the only people i waS ABLE TO test with was the same people who i had no issues with mms
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/data/com*telephony/databases
sqlite3 telephony.db
update carriers set
mmsc='http://mms.sprintpcs.com?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER'
<http://mms.vtext.com/serverlets/mms?X-MDN=YOUR11DIGITNUMBER%27> where
name='Production'
*input your phone number example 13303214294 dont

ok my bad i thought they told me something new

I have tried to send a mms on CyanogenEris and ELB 2.5 Cyanogen, both do not work. I just loaded up ZenEXP-v7 and tried sending one, worked fine. But it has the "HTC" message app not the AOSP one. I think we need to find out what the diffences are.
That connections info is EXACTLY what the APN trick fixes.
It's how I got the first Eris to send a mms msg on Cricket, if you do the apn restore of a verizon ROM, that gets fixed.

i know how to patch it ,, i used mmszap , i was lookin for a way to fix it and make it stick in a rom

The fix above fixes sprint sense ROMs.
AOSP roms such as ELB need a source code change, not a APN change. Possibly permissions. I suggest we look at koush's work on the Moto Droid's port of CE for clues.
Ok if I am going to try to use MMSZap what do I need to fill in besides the MMSC url

FOR ADVANCED USERS: How to get Web and MMS Working on Droid X (CyanogenMod 7)
I am writing this guide to help others successfully have working Web and MMS on CyanogenMod 7.
First of all you will need to be on CM4DX before doing any of this. Follow the link [ROM][BETA] CyanogenMod 7 for the Droid X
I used TBH monster zip file to get me on CyanogenMod. In his instructions it says to install the zip twice so you can get the .07 radio but I only did it once and stayed on .12 radio.
I have no problems with the updated radio, but the only reason why I didnt flash the zip twice is because I didnt want to flash the phone back to cricket. (Flash once and Cricket flash stays, but flash twice you will have to flash your phone back to Cricket).
Update to the newest Nightly #14....this will take care of the eri, crt animation, MMS and gps issues.
Keep in mind this is still in beta so there will be issues.
Once your phone is booted up use the greenK45 v1.0 - one click 3g internet/market for $45 plan [APP-BETA] greenK45 v1.0 - one click 3g internet/market for $45 plan (Awesome app, please try and donate)
Download Autostart root from market
Download APN Backup & Restore from the market and use the attached APN's that chrisngrod provided. (Replace X's with your 10-Digit Number)
Restart phone and make sure to grant Autostart root Superuser permission.
Download APN Manager from Market
Open APN Manager
Choose APN List
Select CDMA-MMS
Edit the build.prop. I use android commander to pull the build.prop located in /system.
Once you pull build.prop change verizons mcc number from 310004 to cricket 310016.
you can rename the ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha to Cricket..Theres 2 places where you have to change it. The easiest way is to use notepad++ and then search for (310004) and then edit the file.
Once you have changed verizons mcc number you can delete the original build.prop from /system and then drop the newly edited one in its place.
Once this is done reboot you phone
Restart your phone and you should have working WEB and MMS.
Im also attaching a flashable zip that will fix the Camera (Camera Fix for CM7 FOUND!)
Thats how I got it to work for me, but there may be easier ways of doing this.
Thanks to CVPCS and CyanogenMod Team
Thanks to chrisngrod
Thanks to mraabhimself for the greenK45.apk
Thanks to xraytedjim and P3DROID for the camera fix.
If I left anybody else out just let me know. Thanks
edited and formatted by: pixeldotz
Not needed anymore:
[*] Download apns-cons.txt
[*] Rename apns-confs.txt to apns-confs.xml
[*] Copy newly renamed apns-confs.xml to /system/etc (you can either delete or overwrite the old apns-conf.xml in /system/etc)
[*] Now rename the Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak or delete and then replace with the attached Mms.apk.
Thanks for this info, before I dive into it I'm hoping someone can answer a couple questions.
I'm going to switch 2 of my lines to cricket at the end of this month. They are both on CM7 GB 605 kernel. Do you know if it will work?
Is there any advantage of using their $55 android plan over the $45 one?
Thanks

That's a little outdated try this post http://www.cricketusers.com/verizon-motorola-droid-x/12264-working-apn-mms-apk.html#post21416
Also you can go to the "How to flash Droid X to cricket" section and flash it yourself..its pretty easy and painless...
1) Yes having them on CM7 GB kernel will work on cricket..
2) I am on the $45 dollar plan and have no issues but if you put them on the $55 plan it is a lot easier to get everything working. The $55 plan doesn't use proxy's therefore your internet works immediately after flashing a ROM..The $45 plan you have to take extra steps to get internet to work because it does not use proxy's. The speed is also a little faster with the $55 plan vs the $45 one..that's just a couple differences
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I am starting this because there is not a lot of support for the Cricket Epics..
So I will start one with all the things I have learned from having to do this all myself.. I am aware there is some major differences when dealing with a flashed phone. So we as Cricket users no what to do. Thanks I hope everyone enjoys.
First post mms.
This is all from n8dogg4life and I take no creidet at all for it!
Just like all the other threads, I am not responsible for what you do with your phone, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
So after not having MMS for around 7 months, I am now able to send and recieve MMS thanks to some help from jpond83 over at cricketusers.com where he/she uploaded a CWM backup of his setup. Here is the link http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-s...#axzz1dtgugG00
And his post is #88.
As soon as I restored his backup, I tested MMS and everything worked flawlessly. I on the other hand like the CleanGB rom by toadlife so I extracted some files from jpond83's "Cricket rom" and implemented it into my CleanGB setup and it still works great. So lets get started.
Please note I have tested this on my Epic 4g twice going through these steps exactly and it has work both times, I am using CleanGB rom so experience may differ with other roms/Android versions. Let me know if this works for you.
UPDATE: I have recently found out the Pictures are sent just fine, Sounds on the other hand are causing this fix to break completely even if you redo the steps, you must restore your backup and perform them again.
Prerequisites:
Make a backup within CWM just in case
An Epic 4g with root and your choice of GB EI22
A way to access system files ie. Root Explorer
APN Backup & Restore from the Android Market
Download the attached ZIP onto SDcard (Contains required files)
Step 1) Open APN Backup & Restore and create a backup of your APN setup.
Step 2) Copy cricketapns-20111115203127.xml from the download folder into the ApnBackupRestore folder on your SDcard. APN Backup & Restore should create this folder.
Step 3) Open APN Backup & Restore and restore cricketapns-20111115203127.xml
The following 3 steps were performed in Root Explorer.
Step 4) Next, rename three files by adding ".XXX" without quotes to the end of each file located in this directory.
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
These are the files you are looking for.
cdmatelephony.db
mmssms.db
telephony.db
Step 5) In the downloaded folder, there are 3 files with the same names, copy these files to the same directory since we are replacing them but keeping the old ones just in case.
Step 4) Rename Mms.apk to Mms.apk.XXX located in the following directory.
/system/app/
Step 6) Copy over the Mms.apk from the download into the same directory.
/system/app/
Step 7) Install autostart.apk
Step 8) Reboot your Epic 4g and enjoy (hopefully) sending MMS’s.
I want to thank jpond83 again for his upload and toadlife for the rom. Dont forget to click thanks
Second post Youtube.
I heve had some issues with the Youtube playback over network.
It will work fine over WiFi but not at all over Network, So after lots of frustrating attempts I figured this out..
1 On the phone dial ##3282##
2 Pick "Edit"... It will ask for your msl lock code. Pick "Others" and then "Multimedia"
3 RTSP Proxy Address needs to be 0.0.0.0
4 RTSP Proxy Port needs to be 0
5 HTTPPD Proxy Address needs to be 0.0.0.0
6 HTTPPD Proxy Prot need to be 0
Restart the phone and all is good and working right..
if you are on 2.3.3 (gingerbread)
try 254.254.254.254
0
254.254.254.254
0
you are good to go. or should be
The only things needed to change a rom to cricket is the proper prl

well hello everyone im not sure if this should go here but i found this and noticed it worked right away and i did not find this so thanks to who ever did and thank you so much :laugh:
1st: you will need cm 6.1.1 and the latest cm7 get them here ----> download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
2ed: Open both cm6.1.1 and cm7 then in Cm6.1.1 find system folder click it, then find etc click it, then find wifi click it then find tiwlan.ini
3ed: Replace your Cm7 tiwlan.ini with Cm6.1.1 tiwlan.ini
4th: Your Cm7's tiwlan.ini should have these numbers Size - 11,232 and Packed - 3,609 make sure its still in zip format
5th: put the fixed cm7 on your root of sd card and then boot in to your recovery make sure you do a back up if you dont have one already
6th: wipe data then go to advance the wipe dalvk cache <----- or how ever you spell it lol
7th: then flash the new cm7 with the wifi fix then reboot and this worked for me
ITS NOT MY FALUT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM lol
and if it gets to hard for some people i might be able to post the cm7 with the wifi fix but just maybe lol
Shorty, it would be great if you are able to post the cm7 with the fix. i am currently on holiday's and my wifi has all of a sudden decided to act up. I have the CM7 07032011 nightly which was working great, out of the blue it just started to randomly work.
I know the instructions are simply (detailed for noobs which is great) but being on vacation it makes it a bit hard to do so.

This time, it asked me to register. So I have just registered and downloaded the file w/o a problem. Thanks for that
So I basically follow the above instructions to swap roms right? I changed roms a year ago and it was pretty easy as I just chose CM7 from Rom Manager lol I can't remember exactly how to do it manually

from step 5 to 7 and make sure you have a backup
I maintain a ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and wanted to see if I could do anything for VZW users who have MMS issues. Try the following methods in order until you can (hopefully) send/receive MMS.
Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for your device blowing up, yadda yadda yadda. Also I'm on Sprint, so I can only do so much to help.

Method 1:
Flash SlimKat's Verizon APNs
Reboot to recovery and flash SLIM_APNS.zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 2:
Reset APNs
Go to Settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - 3 dot menu in the upper right - select Reset To Default.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method 3:
Flash Phone Number-specific APNs
This script I created will add your phone number to the APNs file and create a flashable zip for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have a zip binary, likely located at /system/xbin. If not, flash zip_binary_flashable.zip from recovery.
2) Ensure you have busybox. Stericson's 1.22.1 definitely works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox. Others may not, try Stericson's before reporting problems.
3) Unzip the vzw_apn_patch zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
4) Edit phone.txt with your 10-digit phone number (no dashes, no "1" at the beginning)
5) Open an Android Terminal
6) Run "cd /sdcard/your_folder"
7) Run "sh patch.sh"
8) Reboot to recovery and flash PATCHED_APNS.zip

I maintain a ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and was alerted to this APN modification that fixes MMS issues which seem to plague many toro users: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50958379&postcount=86 . So I decided to whip up a quick script for the Android terminal that will add your phone number to the APNs file and place it on /system/etc for you. The APNs file is from LiquidSmooth and the magic line has been moved up to the top so that you don't need to hunt for it.
Instructions:
1) Unzip vzw_apn_patch.zip to an empty folder on your sdcard
2) Edit phone.txt with your phone number (no dashes)
3) Open an Android Terminal
4) Run "su"
5) Run "cd /sdcard/<your folder>"
6) Run "sh patch.sh"
Let's start with this for now. I can add Windows and Linux/Mac versions if anyone would want that. I can also have my script create a flashable zip for the APNs file.

A flashable APN zip would be really nice.

so i tried this, thanks for the fix btw.
I put in the number with no dashes or 1 at the begining (i tried with the 1 at first and it wasn't working(all the run commands etc went through but after reboot, mms on 3g still not sending
so after taking out the 1 at begining of the number in the phone.txt file.. running the steps of commands and seeing poo's script(?) do it's thing in the terminal: after another reboot when terminal requested the mms on 3g still would not send, using 8sms app, hmmm any ideas what might be going wrong?
I am using latest clean install version of cmremix.. toro gnexus, THANKS!

So you ended up running the script twice, first with a "1" at the beginning, then without? And you didn't delete everything in the folder before trying the second time? Not saying that you necessarily should have, I'm just not sure how my rather simple script would handle such a case.
Take a look at /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Does the first APN line correctly match:
<apn carrier="LTE - Verizon Internet" mcc="311" mnc="480" apn="VZWINTERNET" type="default,supl,mms,dun" user="your number[/B][/U]@vzwpix.com" password="null" server="null" mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=your number" protocol="IPV4V6" roaming_protocol="IPV4V6" bearer="14" />

great reply! so i checked and the 1 is still in there in the number(in the xml file you had me check), I must have messed up the process or something, can I fix it? I tried to re-run the first time and it confirmed that it worked and prompted reboot etc, you think I should try again or did I miff it up by doing something i shouldn't have in the first place:/ ha sorry for the hassle!
To be clear when I went back into the phone.text file on the sd card in the folder, I was unable to edit from the phone(rookie move probably) so I plugged into laptop and still couldn't edit it so I deleted the file directly off the (phone.txt) then created a new phone.txt file on the desktop put in correct number no 1 this time or dashes of course. hmmmmm
Then put file in folder and reran scripts in terminal and rebooted and here we are hmmm

When you run the script, it takes the template xml, adds in your phone number, and renames it to apns-conf.xml. Then this gets copied over to /system/etc which is where it needs to be. But my script doesn't delete that apns-conf.xml from your sdcard. So when you reran it the second time, it may have not created the new apns-conf.xml because the old one was still there. And then the script just recopied the old one to /system/etc. I think if you delete apns-conf.xml from the sdcard and start over, you'll probably get it this time.
Clearly I still have some tweaking to do. Thank you very much for the feedback by the way.

hah didn't think of that, perfect!
So i reran the script after deleteing the apn file and confirming it was gone etc, now looking at the html file as before i see the 1 is in fact not there so yay, but mms isn't sending, well it says still sending, although sms does work hmm
---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------
i tried with stock messaging at that last time, I will try with 8sms now
---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------
K, so the verdict is it's not sending I can add myself to the mms (group) message or whatever and I receive it but the other people do not hmm, I would love to be able to use mms and 3g instead of only 4g on a lot of these ROMS:highfive:

cool cool! thanks for the info and efforts! If figure out what I'm doing wrong or anything I'll make a post
New version of the tool added to the OP. It's much more elegant now. It'll remove old files that will conflict first if they exist, put your phone number in the APNs file, create a flashable zip, and output the APN line in question so that you can verify that it was substituted correctly. The script will NOT go ahead and replace your APNs on /system like the last one did, you need to flash the zip from recovery. Make sure to read the updated instructions in the OP.

I don't know if this will help, but I was one of those Toro users who was having MMS issues on Liquid's KK roms. MMS would send/receive on 4g but not on 3g (or lower). This was particularly vexing and noticeable to me because I spend a large amount of time in marginal data areas and deal with a sizable number of group texts. (And before I get jumped on, I understand not every user has the issue). I tried every suggestion I saw to get MMS to function but nothing worked (assorted text clients, playing with APNs, etc). Based on a suggestion in one of the threads, I switched over to the SlimKat rom. I haven't had any MMS issues on 5.9 or 6.6 (the only two I have tried thus far).
Slim uses a proprietary gapps set, Liquid points you to the standard PA gapps. I would not think that is a factor, but I mention it just in case.
I say this not to praise one rom over another, but if one of you master coders could figure out what Slim is doing vs. what Liquid is doing, it may help get to the bottom of the issue.

My gut tells me that this is not a gapps issue and that it's an APN problem. I downloaded slim's latest toro build and looked at their APNs and they are significantly different than LS's.
So let's try this... I put Slim's APNs file into a flashable zip. Those of you that have MMS problems, try flashing the attached zip and see what happens.

testing slims now.. will report back..
ive attached the verizon section of the apn file from my rom. if you compare, you can see that slims is quite similar, but adds more duplicate entries with different "bearers." hmm..

MMS was previously NOT working for me at home on the east coast. i mention this because it DID work in alaska, which makes me suspect that Verizon changed their APNs at some point and the 3rd party carrier in alaska (alaska communications) still uses the older APNs.
ROM in sig: CM-REMIX on toro. Now, tested multiple times and working, even with Wifi on.

Well I'll be damned. Who knew that getting past this vzw mms bug was just a matter of using slim's apns?!?! If we could get a few more people to confirm this, I think we can run with it!
